I thought this kind of job should be highly paid because of the evident risks on mental health... when your physical health is on risk your contract reflects that with additional money, benefits, therapy and earlier retirement... (not just in Europe right?)
I guess what would happen if this person becomes permanently burnout or suicides because of this long exposure; my understanding is that the employer is responsible for that unless the contract has some compensation and mitigation for the effects on the worker's health...
- ktta 9y agoPeople's payment is never related to the mental or physical effects. A friend of mine pointed it out that it is about how replaceable a person is.
- erikbye 9y agoWhich is why Facebook's hourly rate for their moderators is $1-15.
- nudpiedo 9y agoI guess you mean in USA, right? Because my experience in Germany and Spain was different.
- ktta 9y agoYes. I can only talk about what I know, so can you explain how you think Germany and Spain are different? Are people there getting paid based on the risk they take instead of how replaceable they are?
- beagle3 9y agoPay is directly decided by supply & demand. Indirectly, that causes some riskier jobs to be more highly paid (no supply of people willing to take the risk). But in general, risk is not a direct factor in pay.
- porfirium 9y agoIs it so? At least here you get paid a bonus for having a risky job (think for example, a security guard) and that's mandatory for some companies.
- mawburn 9y agoLeaving this here for anyone curious like me. >I received an offer of $20 per hour, no benefits, to work 40 hours per week.
